Where is the Cambodian Militaries?


what happen to their armys, marines and navy of cambodia? in the story only police officers i saw!

reply

probably all dead and this isn't "cambodia"...anyway i don't know if you noticed but at the begining of the movie as they were riding trough town with kenny rogers, you could see a bunch of soldiers running towards some gov. looking building. i think it's safe to say they didn't make it out alive because even the american embassey employees including soldiers were dead

reply

in real life i don't believe all US MARINES IN THE EMBASSY ARE DEAD? IN REAL LIFE IF YOU STEP ON THE AMERICAN EMBASSY THEY HAVE RIGHT TO CALL AIRFORCE TO BOMB THE AREA OR WITH THEIR HELICOPTERS LIKE APACHE! THEY CAN HIT THE REBELS!

It takes time to deploy American forces to invade Cambodia. Apache can't just appear like in other movies.

And for your question, Cambodian military will likely support the rebels and be a part of it. Just like real life Khmer Rouge.

In real life there would've been American planes and drones overhead that embassy within hours.

reply

If anything...the Embassy would have held out a lot longer. They were attacked by a ragtag group of not very well armed rebels. In Iran, there were a lot of unarmed civilians mixed in that the marines were reluctant to fire on.

It is Cambodia. Of course they don't say it out loud, but remember "Kampuchea Krom"?
